Hi HIO

In regards to your problems with visibility.

I cannot see a problem with using this mod on its own > stoianm BrighterNights modv1.

Although I personally have not used this combination yet, but intend too, next time in the bunker it is recommended to use DE mods 3a – 4a and 5b if you want to have brighter nights.

I do not have the night vision problem that you mention although yes, it is quite dark, but I can certainly see the ladder without any difficulty.


You need to read the documentation that comes with this mod below as it was designed for 6-3-4 not 7-5-0.

This mod I can highly recommend and is very accurate.

SteelVikings Interior Mod V1.2 not sure what you mean by the archive appears to be corrupt.

Is this mod going to be compatible?

One concern I have is that you are looking at adding another interior mod.

If you look at the readme document with Steel Vikings mod he makes a large number of changes.

These are likely to impact on any existing mod using the same files.

Pay particular attention to the mods that are being over written.

For example if a DE mod over writes another DE mod then you will know that it is supposed to.

DE mods should be enabled in their numerical order as a guide line.

01 DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod
04 DynEnv v2.9 - 5.b Ambient Settings - No Murky Waters
04 DynEnv v2.9 - 6. Sleet for Winter Campaigns
04 DynEnv v2.9 - 7. Clear Water Surface
04 DynEnv v2.9 - 9. Sobers Best Ever Tweaks
04 DynEnv v2.9 - 10.I Seafloor (high resolution)
04 DynEnv v2.9 - 11.a.I Sea Plants - Atlantic Kelp Forests (high resolution)


When other mods overwrite mods then you need to know that there is not going to be a problem.

Everytime a mod is over written it could be an accident waiting to happen.

That is why I always recommend that you start with an established mods list like sobers or Sjizzles to name but two that are tried and trusted.

You can also check the mod lists on my tutorial post #35 which includes sobers.

I would also suggest using the JSGME mod validator so that you can see what impact each mod is having and whether the mod has been correctly enabled.

See my tutorial post #28

I think I may have said previously that the sobers best ever tweaks mod
from Dynamic Environment was installed incorrectly.

If I did then that was incorrect.

What I meant to say was that the mods it contains are not up to date.

Sobers Best Ever Tweaks (Contains the 5 mods below)

Sobers DOF V4 SH5 (No longer listed in Sobers downloads) (Possible conflict with Steel Viking mods)
Sobers Best Ever Fog V22 (Later version V31 available)
Sobers Better Terrain V3 SH5 (Later version V4 available)
Sobers Lights Cfg V5 SH5 (Later version V10 available)
Sobers waves Mod V9 09012013 (Later version V30 available)

Hope it all makes sense Peter

Thanks Berbster. I think I've dialed in my mod soup.
 

I carefully went back to a vanilla install. Verified my game cache with STEAM and then reapplied my mods and I think that I've finally found the set that works for me. (for now at least)

SteelViking's Interior Mods look GREAT
The SH5_Type_7_RadioRoom_Tweaks_v0_0_2_byTheBeast works well with it to add some seamen's clutter to an otherwise empty area on the boat.
The boat looks great as does the exterior and underwater views.
I understood what you said about Sobers Best Ever Tweaks and even located and added in some of the updated versions. I may go get the others as the spirit moves me.
Best of all I can see well enough at night to actually target stuff and walk around on deck without it maxing up the Gamma to find the conning tower.

Now.. as suggested by my in-game captain's name, Ivan T. Sinkstöff!
Thanks again.

Deckgun crew
 

Hi everyone,

tldr; Deckgun crew runs away due a splash of water.

Got a question which is probably asked a million times, but the search didn't help me so sorry in advance.

It happend a couple of times now, a merchant ship near me in calm, good weather. No very high waves. I give the battle stations command, send my guys to the deckgun, and i equip the deckgun myself.

And still, the crew won't even show up at the gun. Or they show up and when the get one little splash of water in their faces they disappear again :o!
Result: i can't move / aim the gun. Merchant calmly sails away with the sound of a cursing u-boat captain fading in the distance.

If i'm right, this is due 'bad weather'. But it my cases it isn't even that bad at all.

Does someone knows a fix / mod for this?

:salute:

Hi doctrine

This is unfortunately a SH5 irritation that we have to put up with.

I fire the deck gun myself so at least I know that when I cannot traverse the gun I have to get the crew back on deck and click on the deck gun icon.

Both icons need to show yellow to get the traversing working.

I have 2 deck gun tutorials on Post #10 and on Post #11 that might answer some questions.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the answer. I already was afraid this was a SH5 'flaw'. I hoped there was some kind of fix for this. Anyway, when i'm home again i'll try the steps as you described in your posts (thanks for all those useful tutorials as well!)

:salute:

Hello guys! :)

Its my first post here, so hello everybody.

I have a problem with my sh5. I installed the wolves of steel megamod and i have a problem with my TDC attack.

I tried playing the tutorial, but the problem is, my officer cannot identify the ship.
I saw stoinam1 had an icon and he could click on it to identify a ship, but in my bar i dont have that one icon.

What to do? do i messed up and i installed something wrong? Or the new Wolves of Steel made impossible to identify ship with your officer help?

welcome aboard!

For A SH5 Tonnage Bar Fix Go To My Tutorial Post #188 On Page 13 :ping:

Welcome to SubSim :sunny:

Welcome!

I had (actually, have) the same issue as you. The 'indentify ship' icon is missing. Since I only have the WoS mod installed, i think we didn't mess up anything but it's part of the mod. But, this is only guessing.

The only thing to do in this situation is indetify it by yourself :Kaleun_Binocular: . You can do this directly in the TDC (click the ship type eg. 'freighter'), or open the recognition manual by pressing one of the icons on the right of the screen (sorry, don't know how to explain better :) One of the icons under the captains log).

Good hunting :salute:

Subsim.....I have a problem!
 

Ahoy there,
Ok, here's the prob,
I have downloaded and installed SH5 v.115,backed up the core 'Backups' and stored them in a folder on a separate drive. Sim ran fine.

I then 'Patched' to .120 and repeated the core backups again on a separate drive. Sim ran fine.

I am using TDW's Genericpatcher_v_1_0_168_0.
Upon commencing with the patcher (this is not my first install with this patcher,and the other installs were fine) the following error reports come up:
Error
Unable to open C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter\SHSim.act for verifying.
Exception is Access to path C:\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\SHSim.act is denied

Error
5\Patches\SH5\TDW.SHSim_Patch.s5P
Exception is:
Patch File C:Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\Patches\SH5\TDW_SHSim_Patc h.s5P:Exception while reading in all updates.
Exception is:
Patch File C :\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\Patches\SH5\TDW_SHSim_Patc h.s5P:Exception while reading update 1. Exception is object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I earlier tried to reinstall core backups and had a popup tell me that
'Destination folder, Access is denied'!

I rechecked the TDW patcher files and found in 'Patches' this path
Patches\SH5\then the patches. Is this correct?
Something is not right here, and at he moment I 'believe' I am patched to v120, which is displayed on the opening screen. I am reluctant to proceed further with TDW's patcher until I can get some assistance with this prob, as previous attempts to resolve it have led to 3 uninstalls and 3 re-downloads!

Its always SHSim.act that comes up, I checked the file sizes, v115 was
804kb, and v120 is 803kb so I believe it has been updated to v120.

So there goes my first post, and its a Mayday! (lol)
